WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has weighed in on the most recent controversy involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, retweeting video edited to suggest that the Minnesota Democrat was dismissive of the significance of the Sept. 11 attacks.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president"shouldn't use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack."

"For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, I'm tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it," she said in the March 23 speech, according to video posted online."CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.

Pelosi said in a statement released Saturday while she was in Germany visiting American troops that"the memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence." She said"it is wrong for the president, as commander-in-chief, to fan the flames to make anyone less safe."She tweeted a quote from former President George W.
